its a bit late but someone had to do it

i would just like to thank nikola tesla for all his work for humanity he was a genius and in what i have heard about him even edison couldnt hold a candle to him he invented ac electricty(widely used today despite EDISONS FALSE CLAIMS) floresent bulbs a more effective of way of maufactaring light bulbs(up yours edison) the electric motor romote control xrays robots tesla turbine spark plugs vtol aircraft and many more patients and god knows how many great ideas in his head

but sadly he died penney less alone and mad in the new yorker hotel in manhatten

and the only reason why is best idea arnt in use today is because (im not conspiracy theorist) that the people who are in charge bankers oil companies extra are afraid if they cant control the electricty they will lose there power and be over througn by the masses

Fluorescents ? Mm. No. Electric Motor ? Mm No. He invented a type of AC electric motor, yes. X-rays ??? Hardly. Roentgen was the first to discover them.Robots - Karol Kapek is held to have introduced the idea of "mechanical men" in his play "RUR"Tesla turbine ? Neat, but largely a novelty. The Parson turbine is more efficient, at the penaltyy of greater complexity. Spark plugs ? A French guy invented the first electric ignition, Tesla held SOME patents, but the first successful large-scale electric ignition system was by a guy that worked for Bosch, and clearly couldn't have used Tesla's patents - Tesla would sue him.

Tesla was a brilliant engineer - for AC distribution and the induction motor alone he is one up-there in the Pantheon of greats, but he didn't invent the modern world as a lot of conspiracy nuts would have you believe.

After reading your post I finally realized that the information in the posting is not accurate. I have made the mistake to read the posting without critical thinking. Thank you for pointing that out to us. I now hang my head in shame! :)

Tesla IS one of the Greats, no two-ways about it. He provided FUNDAMENTAL knowledge to electrical and electronic engineering, but it fdoes not serve the man's memory for all the mystical crud that's sprung up about him.

fluorsents yes world columbian fairelectric motor yes and no first ac motor not first motorxray tubes yesrobots first to relise there potentialtesla turbine he still invented itspark plugs first to make a timing system to actully make the engine

and to top it all off wardenclyffe if jp morgon hadnt have been a dratsab all we would have to do to get electricty would stick a metal pole in ground and there we go free electricity for everyone forever

free electricity in which i mean you dont have to pay for it and the electricity would have came from hydroelectic plants but if he would have had he had his way it would have been solar satillites which beam the energy back to earth

im not saying there for nothing im saying once they would be place and have robot maintainse system and the people who work there would be doing it out of the good of their heart and the knowledge that through the power of electricty would be in the hands of many not the few like today
